Jevan Bryce Snead (b 2 September 1987) plays college football as a quarterback for the Texas Longhorn college football team. Coming into the 2006 Texas Longhorn football season, he was competing for the starting role with redshirt freshman Colt McCoy. McCoy won the starting role, making Snead the back-up quarterback. Snead has played in seven of Texas first 11 games, including playing most of the game against Kansas State University due to an injury to McCoy. Snead came to Texas as a highly touted high-school player.

High school

He is a prep All-American, two-time all-state and two-time all-district performer who finished his high school career with a 23-2 (.920) record as a starter.[1] As a senior, he was named to the 2006 Parade All-America team.[1] He was also listed as a second-team All-American by EA Sports and he earned an invitation to the Elite 11 Quarterback Camp.[1] Snead was selected to the 2006 U.S. Army All-American Bowl and finished the game with the second-most passing yards in the history of that game, as he threw for 147 yards and two TDs.[1]

College

Through 11 November 2006, Snead has completed 26 of 48 passing attempts, for a total of 371 passing yards.[2] He has also thrown 2 touchdown passes and one intereception.[2] He has also made a solo tackle on the defensive player who recovered a fumble.[2]

During the November 11 2006 game against Kansas State University, McCoy suffered a stinger shoulder injury[3][4][5] while rushing for a touchdown on the very first drive of the game.[6] The Longhorns trailed by 21 points in the second half and Snead brought them within 3 points of tying the game. However, the Longhorns failed to recover an on-sides kick and UT lost in an upset to the Wildcats 45-42.[6] The game has the distinction of being the most points ever scored by a UT team in a losing effort.[7] UT defensive coordinator Gene Chizik said "The quarterback had a great night and we just didn't play great sudden-change defense".[8] Head coach Mack Brown also had praise for Snead's performance coming off the bench, adding "If he plays in the game in two weeks, he'll be much more ready."[9]

Snead could be the starter for the final regular season game as it is unknown if McCoy will return for the Longhorns season closer against Texas A&M on November 24 2006.[10][11][12]
